Bottled for Fèis Ìle 2023, this 1998 Bunnahabhain was initially matured in American Oak casks, and was finished for several years in first-fill Manzanilla sherry casks. The Manzanilla casks were selected for the coastal salinity they impart, a nod to the distillery's maritime history.

When Bunnahabhain first opened, it was isolated from the rest of the island and had to do all importing and exporting by boat via the distillery pier. It wasn't until 1960 that a road was built. The period of time when the sea was the only route is key to the distillery's history.

Tasting Notes

Official Tasting Notes

Colour – Chestnut

Nose – Notes of freshly baked pastry with sweet almonds, rose petals, grapefruit and dried spices are balanced with a touch of mahogany and incense.

Palate – Coastal influence of seaweed and fresh sea air are met with raisins and dates and intertwined with creamy fudge, waxed red apples and a warm sweet spice reminiscent of star anise.

Finish – Spicy and aromatic with caramelised walnuts; the star anise fades to reveal lemon peel and pears with a lingering note of sea salt.
